CHAPTER 91: CHAPTER 91 PRESIDENT GU’S WIFE

Gu Yikun massaged his temples, feeling a headache coming on, "An Junxi! I could have arranged a convoy to take you home, but you chose to take a ride-hailing service? Have you considered the safety issues? Have you thought about my worries?"

Feeling guilty, An Junxi softly said, "I took a high-speed train and then switched to a ride-hailing service... Please don’t scold me, I’m in a really bad mood right now."

Gu Yikun tried to control his emotions. First, he dialed the internal line to inform Yu Cheng that they didn’t need to track Jun Xi’s whereabouts, then notified the traffic police team leader that they didn’t need to monitor the road records... By the time he finished these tasks, he had calmed down a bit. He picked up his phone and said, "Tell me the car’s license plate number and your current location."

Hearing about everything Gu Yikun did during the few hours she had her phone turned off, An Junxi felt both guilty and moved. Without much thought, she sent him the car’s license plate number and address.

Gu Yikun said, "Alright, I’ll call you every half an hour."

"Yi Ke, I know you’re busy with the company’s press conference. You don’t have to..."

"An Junxi, do you want to give me a heart attack?"

"Alright, I’ll answer every call," An Junxi dared not anger him any further.

Gu Yikun said, "If anything happens at home, tell me immediately. I’ll come to pick you up in a couple of days."

An Junxi knew how busy Gu Yikun was during this period. She didn’t dare reject him outright and said diplomatically, "I might have to stay at home for a few days. I’ll let you know when I’m ready to come back, and you can pick me up then, alright?"

An Junxi’s gentle persuasion soothed Gu Yikun’s agitated mood. He said, "Alright."

Then An Junxi added, "Don’t work late tonight, and cut down on the coffee. It’s not good for your health."

Gu Yikun was pleased to see that she still cared about him, feeling a bit more at ease.

Having calmed President Gu’s temper, An Junxi hung up the phone. The driver, feeling envious, said, "Miss, your husband treats you really well."

An Junxi smiled as a response, too drained to chat with the driver.

She glanced at Gong Xiaoyu, wondering why her senior hadn’t reacted to the fact that she and Gu Yikun were married, as it should have been clear from the call.

It’s all that Yue Xiaoyang’s fault. He always seemed so sunny and gentlemanly, who would have thought he could hurt her senior?

Once her senior gets past this dark period, she’ll see to it that Yi Ke skins him alive!

Checking the work chat group on WeChat, An Junxi saw it had blown up. Everyone was @-ing her and asking for their whereabouts, saying they would call the police if there wasn’t a response soon.

An Junxi quickly drafted a notice @-ing everyone, stating that she and the boss were on an impromptu business trip and that the company should run as usual. If any emergencies arose and no one could make a decision, they should call her.

After handling work matters, An Junxi reminded Gong Xiaoyu, "Senior, we should let Uncle Gong and Aunt Gong know. They’ll be very worried about you."

Gong Xiaoyu subconsciously placed a hand on her belly and said, "Jun Xi, if my parents find out, they’ll kill me."

The Gong Family was an intellectual family, with both parents being teachers, having always been strict with their children. If they found out their daughter got pregnant out of wedlock, they’d feel she brought shame to the family name.

Gong Xiaoyu couldn’t understand how she ended up in this situation, and the father of the child didn’t even like her. This child was untimely.

What should she do—give birth to the child alone?

Gong Xiaoyu’s eyes welled up with tears again.

The car wasn’t a convenient place to talk. An Junxi gently patted Gong Xiaoyu’s shoulder and said, "Take a nap. We’ll be at my house when you wake up. My mom will cook a lot of delicious food for you."

Gong Xiaoyu nodded.

Half an hour later, the car got off the highway and onto a national road. The driver, focused on driving, suddenly felt something was off—why were there two police cars following them?

He pulled over and slowed down, hoping the police cars would overtake him. However, the police cars also slowed down and continued to follow.

The driver’s foot on the accelerator started to tremble. He hadn’t been speeding or done anything wrong, so why were the police following him?

He glanced at the two girls in the backseat and wondered if they were fugitives.

The fare from Yi City to a county was quite steep. It was his first time getting such a long-distance fare... The more he thought about it, the more uneasy he felt. He asked, "Miss, what’s with the police cars behind us? Did you do something wrong?"

Looking back, An Junxi saw two police cars behind them.

Afraid the driver might misunderstand and refuse to take them, leaving them stranded, she quickly said, "We haven’t done anything wrong. Why don’t you pull over ahead and see what’s going on?"

The driver thought it made sense. Since he was a law-abiding citizen, he had nothing to hide, even if the car was searched.

He stopped the car, and the police cars stopped too. Several uniformed police officers got out, but instead of knocking on the driver’s window, they knocked on the back window.

The driver got out and said, "Officers, I haven’t broken any laws. Why are you following me? This doesn’t look good to others!"

Curious, An Junxi rolled down the window.

The leading officer smiled at her and said, "You must be Mrs. Gu. President Gu personally contacted our chief, asking us to escort this car to its destination. Please don’t worry, we’ll follow you all the way."

An Junxi felt overwhelmed.

Gong Xiaoyu then asked, "When did you two get married?"

Now wasn’t the time to explain, so An Junxi didn’t answer her question. Instead, she said to the police, "Thank you so much, officers." She hadn’t expected Gu Yikun to be so concerned that he arranged for a police escort. It was quite an overwhelming situation for her.

Feeling guilty for troubling the police, she was also deeply moved.

It was clear that Gu Yikun was very worried about her.

The driver now realized he was chauffeuring a woman from a wealthy family. Why would someone so well-off use a ride-hailing service?

The world of the wealthy was indeed hard to understand!

The police instructed the driver to drive carefully, then reported their badge numbers to An Junxi, saying, "If you could mention our badge numbers to President Gu, we’d be very grateful."

Feeling embarrassed, An Junxi nodded, "Alright."

The police got back into their cars, and the car started moving again. An Junxi received the call that Gu Yikun had promised to make every half hour.

With her senior next to her, An Junxi couldn’t talk much with her husband, so she briefly assured him of her safety before hanging up.

With the police escort, they arrived home almost an hour earlier than expected. When the car drove into the small town, An Junxi realized she had forgotten to inform her parents she was coming home with her senior.

Oh well, it would be a surprise for her parents. She hadn’t been home in a long time.

Thinking of Gu Yikun saying he’d come to pick her up personally, An Junxi started to worry about their secret marriage. It would be the first time he visited as a son-in-law, and it couldn’t be hidden from her parents then.

Feeling anxious, An Junxi wondered if her parents would be upset, knowing their daughter registered and married without informing them. Would she get scolded?
